Because the uncle and nephew got along very well, Lin Chaodong was halfway to liberation.
The two children were very curious about their second uncle, so they eagerly fed him various flavors of mooncakes. At this moment, Lin Chaodong was fortunate enough to become one of the onlookers.
But both children are his, and his younger brother is his own flesh and blood, someone he hadn't seen for seven years and had just returned. How could he possibly let his younger brother be the only one to suffer?
The fourth brother is still cleaning up his sister-in-law's mess. The third brother usually has a cold face. He is still the pillar of the family. Lin Chaodong is actually a little afraid of this younger brother, ever since he went to the prefecture city.
Now that his second brother has just returned, he has no choice but to rescue him from the clutches of the two fearless brats, and then enjoy the feeding from his two kids with a bittersweet (not really) feeling.
After experiencing it, Lin Chaoxi understood why the atmosphere had been so strange.
However, it wasn't as hard to swallow as Lin Chaodong had imagined. After all, it was edible food, just with a strange taste. When he was fighting in the border town, he went hungry for several days and still had to fight. If you can find something to put in your mouth, who cares what it is or what it tastes like? Just swallow it first.
Moreover, he really likes the atmosphere at home. Unlike before, when the whole family just worked hard to earn a living, now the children are making a fuss, the adults are laughing, and it's full of happiness.
On his way back to the capital to be rewarded for his achievements, he learned that his family had suffered natural disasters a few years earlier, and at the time he thought he was really going to be separated from his family forever.
Unexpectedly, my family members were safe and sound.
Just when he thought he was returning home in glory, he received some incredible good news: someone from the same place as his mother, and with the same name, had become an eighth-rank official in Yu'an.
Could it be his mother?
He wasn't sure.
So after finishing his business in the capital, he hurried home to see how his family was doing.
He's an official now, albeit only a sixth-rank Zhenwei Colonel, but he can still provide a good life for his family, though it certainly can't compare to the wealthy families in the capital.
Yes, there was another big surprise when I got home!
This entire hillside belongs to him!
His mother turned out to be the same eighth-rank official from Yu'an whom he thought shared the same name!
His family has become rich!
He has an eldest niece and an eldest nephew!
The fourth son got married!
The third son has taken charge of the family!
His older brother got divorced!
...
Many things surprised him, one after another, each one a delightful surprise!
His older brother's divorce didn't count; that only brought him shock, not joy.
He even regretted it a little, wondering if he shouldn't have gone to serve in the military in place of his older brother. Maybe because he was worried about his brother, the couple's relationship would have been much better when his brother came back, and they wouldn't have divorced.
He only thought about these things in his mind and then let them go. He wouldn't blame himself for his older brother's divorce; he wasn't that brainless.
It was just a sigh after hearing the news.
The next day, when Lin Chaoxi woke up on the kang (a heated brick bed) in his own courtyard, he was completely dumbfounded.
Did he go into the wrong room?
Does this house belong to Lao Si and his wife? I heard they got married.
When he was having breakfast, he didn't see the fourth son and his wife in Yue Jiuyue's courtyard. He thought that the fourth son's wife was unhappy, which was why she didn't come over to eat with them.
When he naively asked Yue Jiuyue his question, Yue Jiuyue smiled and replied:
"Oh! I forgot to ask if you hadn't brought it up. You've been away for so many years, haven't you found a wife and started a family? Still all alone as a bachelor?"
Lin Chaoxi: (￣o￣). z Z
This problem seems to occur everywhere you go.
However, she is his own mother, and he cannot be fooled.
"Mother, I'm going to fight a war, I don't have time to find a wife!"
What they said was all true; it's just a matter of opinion.
He may not have time to find a wife, but it's not that he can't find one. After all, he's not ugly, and he has a bit of power.
"Hmm? Didn't I hear that the girls in the border town are all pretty bold? You know, they just say whoever they like, they're really brave! You're not too bad looking, so how come you can't even find a wife?"
Yue Jiuyue wasn't intentionally criticizing Lin Chaoxi. It's just that Lin Chaoxi is indeed quite good-looking, just a bit dark-skinned and has a scar on his face. But that shouldn't be enough to make him unattractive, right?
The girls in the border town all have a kind of exotic beauty. Yue Jiuyue really hopes that her son will bring back a daughter-in-law from the border town. Whether it is a boy or a girl, she will definitely be a beautiful little doll with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and deep eyes!
It might even come with colored contact lenses!
"Well……"
Lin Chaoxi didn't know how to answer.
So, his mother still hasn't told him whether he went to the wrong yard or slept in the wrong room!
"Sigh! I thought you were finally coming back this time, and you would be able to bring my daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter with you! I prepared everything for you, for your daughter-in-law and your two children, but it turned out that all my preparations were for nothing."
Sigh! You're not getting any younger, when are you going to bring me a daughter-in-law? I don't have any requirements for a daughter-in-law, as long as you like her!
If you want to live in the border town, then live in the border town. You can come back anytime you want, or you can live in the border town for the rest of your life if you don't want to come back.
